The West Boulevard neighborhood is part of Cleveland’s revered Emerald Necklace, which travels along the coastline of Lake Erie. An historic neighborhood, West Boulevard boasts both diversity and beauty.

The neighborhood here also offers all of the amenities of suburban living with the convenience of living near downtown Cleveland. “It’s commonly referred to as ‘The Boulevard,’” says Chad Dasher, executive director of the Westown Community Development Corp. “Neighborhood residents have easy access to downtown, such as Edgewater Park, recreation centers, RTA and commercial districts.”

The homes on West Boulevard make up some of the most grand residential properties in Northeast Ohio. Vintage homes built in the early 1900s feature sprawling front lawns and magnificent front porches in a parklike setting.

“The homes along West Boulevard tend to be larger in size with unique architectural features complemented by sizeable front yards that create a beautiful tree-lined streetscape,” says Dasher. “Designated as part of the Clifton-West Boulevard historic district, West Boulevard displays the architectural qualities reflective of Cleveland’s past.” —
